Stada cleared to market Epo-zeta in EU

24 December 2007

Germany's Stada Arzneimittel has received, as expected, a European Union-wide approval for erythropoietin-zeta (Epo-zeta), in the treatment of anemia associated with chronic renal failure and chemotherapy from the EU Commission.

Under the terms of a sales license granted by Bioceuticals Arzneimittel, Stada will be able to market Epo-zeta in Germany under the brand name Silapo in the first quarter of 2008 via the group-owned sales company cell pharm GmbH.

Based on a separate agreement, Hospira, a USA-based global specialty pharmaceutical firm, will market Epo-zeta in the EU under the brand name Retacrit from the first quarter of 2008.
